Hello,
Setup DNS in YAST, great tool for this by the way, however where can you
setup the Reverse Lookup records?
Many thanks,
James
However, in the second screen (Domain setup) after you set up the
forwarder addresses does give help on how to set up the reverse lookup
records.

Thank you. Using Suse 10.0 Yast and all I see in the DNS Server menu is;
Start-up, Forwarders, Logging, & DNS Zones. Under Forwarders you can add
IP
addresses manually and not much else.
Where can I add these PTR records/Reverse Lookup Records, either through
Yast or with 'vi', my preferred terminal editor for making quick changes.
Many thanks,
James
James, just do something like this for your named.conf
providence:/home/david # grep -v '#' /etc/named.conf
include "/etc/named.keys";
include "/etc/rndc.key";
include "/etc/named.conf.include";
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndc-key; };
};
options {
directory "/var/lib/named";
dump-file "/var/log/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats";
forwarders { 208.180.42.68; 208.180.42.100; 68.1.208.30; };
forward first;
listen-on-v6 { none; };
notify no;
};
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "root.hint";
};
zone "localhost" in {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "127.0.0.zone";
};
zone "rbpllc.com" in {
file "dyn/rbpllc.com";
type master;
allow-update{ key DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
zone "7.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
file "dyn/192.168.7.zone";
type master;
allow-update{ key DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
Then for your /var/lib/named/dyn/{reverse zone file} (or
/var/lib/named/master/{reverse zone file} if dynamic updates are not used):
providence:/home/david # cat /var/lib/named/dyn/192.168.7.zone
$TTL 2d
@ IN SOA providence.rbpllc.com.
root.providence.rbpllc.com. (
2007050402 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1w ; expiry
1d ) ; minimum
IN NS providence.rbpllc.com.
13 IN PTR gw.rbpllc.com.
15 IN PTR bonza.rbpllc.com.
16 IN PTR providence.rbpllc.com.
IN PTR www.rbpllc.com.
IN PTR mail.rbpllc.com.
IN PTR ftp.rbpllc.com.
That's all there is to it!
